In a culture that wants to be fooled, it is not difficult to do so. The people seldom have the discernment to know the difference between a sceptical investigation, and a 'conspiracy theory'. Blend in a predispositon for less than critical thought and the deed is done. I have seen the police and District attorneys withold evidence, for no other reason than to protect a friends blunder in scene analysis, and the defendant was facing manslaughter. Beware the buddy system, it is an all too common expression of foreordained conclusions. Be sceptical of the 'recipe' verdict, the too simple explanation, and any monetary link twixt Joe and Jack or Jackie.
This AF 'report', hmmm. with so few mishaps to point to, isn't it a stretch to cast an airline in shadow given the millions of cycles the Industry has accomplished as a whole? People also like a quick and easy solution; this sets the stage for those with a microphone or camera to start laying the foundation for an outcome they would wish. I like the cold case, the more certain the conclusion the more it begs the watchful eye.
